Sadly £150 for a month of fuel may be about average. There is the "total cost of ownership" aspect to deal with as well (insurance, service costs etc). If the old car is reliable I'd save my money. If it's unreliable or doesn't meet your needs to carry tools, then that's another story. Just my opinion :) .
 
agree with wilko. stick with the volvo. at least you know you have a vehicle that won't keep stopping due to silly electronics giving up because it's too cold/too hot/too wet/ too dry/wrong kind of snow.

Don't knock it till you've tried it. When the Beast from the East struck my electric i3 was quite happy going up and down hills that the local 4X4's were struggling with.

Unfortunately, how much you pay for fuel varies dramatically depending on where you buy. Quantity used is a better benchmark to go by. I put £600+ last month month in my vehicles (and only I drive them), but if I didn't shop around, that could be £50 higher.
Van is 5 yrs old, gets 30mpg, car 1 yr old, averaged 36mpg (over the 29500 miles of its life).
